New Target Monopoly Game

Board and game pieces for the Target edition of Monopoly

Board and game pieces for the Target edition of Monopoly

 

Target now has its own version of a Monopoly game.

Instead of being rewarded for bold spending, the player who saves the most wins. Instead of buying properties and hotels, you fill a shopping basket with groceries, clothes, housewares or other items found at a Target store, and compete to see who can save the most at checkout.

Target says the Monopoly: Target Edition lets shoppers experience the fun of a “Target run” or shopping trip while playing the game. Target collaborated with toy manufacturer Hasbro, which owns the Monopoly brand, to create the game.

Target will begin taking online pre-orders for the $24.99 game on June 25, and it will be available in stores and online Aug. 1.
